Mrs. Caudle's Curtain.

Bed draperies have lately become
very fashionable. The fashion is a
pretty one, and in the struggle for pref
tiness the healthfulness of it is lost
sight of. To be sure, the bed draperies
of the present day are very little like
the bed curtains of our grandmOtherS.
Still, everything that serves as harbOr
for dust and is suggestive in STIFFNESS
is undesirable in bedroom. They are
generally of light material-those of
delicately cOlored, soft India silk are
the daintieSt-and are nothing more than
canopy extending no further forward
than the pillows. That they add to the
appearance of the bed and its surround
ingS cannot be denied, but they must be
dainty to look well, and must be well
cared for in order not to become a
source of positive discomfort.
With this fancy for color the white
spread and pillow shams have also dis
appeared, and in their places are seen
elaborate spreads. which not only cover
as well. They are made of cretOnne,
silk, damask, embroidered linen and
many other fabrics. For the plain
house and "every-day" beds those of
cretonne, colored or damask linen are
useful. They are edged with heavy an
tique lace, and of course are not tucked
in, but hang nearly to the floor on each
side. Other simple spreads are of
dotted muslin, lined with siiesia and
edged with lace. Madras and the
cheaper MikadO cloth are also used for
this purpose. These are trimmed with
a narrow tasseled fringe.
Handsome spreads are made of silk
or satin, embroidered and heavily
fringed. Others are made of butchers
linen, embellished with drawn work at
the edges, through which colored rib
bons are run and tied in bows at each
corner. They are still further adorned
with embroidery, generally a powder
ing of some simple design, executed in
outline stitch with filOti0ss. which will
not fade in washing. This is new
fashion, and prevails among people who
are always ready to adopt any new
thing; but there are plenty of old-fash-
Toned and substantial folks who cling
to the pure white bed fittings. And
surely nothing is half so pretty OF suit
able.

ties in small visite shapes
are made with dresses that are entirely
of cloth and richly braided. Blue and
green cloths are braided with black. but
those of the tobacco browns are usually
trimmed with braid of the same shades,
or else with mixture of tinsel. The
front OF these wraps is straight and long,
the back short and adjusted to the fig

small, square sleeves; the braiding may
be III many straight, waved or curled

design, fashioned like pasSementerie,

tty as Robert Heller did in his Journey
ing. He was doing India and the island
of Ceylon when he struck the princi-
pality of the emperor of Socrabeya and
was invited to give a necromantic Sc
ance before his royal highness and his
royal highness' family.
The feat of second sight demanded
the presence of his sister, and SO in their
very best clothes they set out for the
palace.
They were ushered by some semi-En-
glish Interpreters into lofty hall, and
after time had been given them to
the door opened and the audience
trOOped in-the old emperor, thirty-two
wives and seventy-two children, many
of them full-grown men.
Poor Miss Heller gave one look. She
could hardly believe her eyes. Some of
them wore lockets, and those thus decor
ated wore nothing else. Now, locket
of any kind is hardly substitute for
full costume, but Miss Heller felt
grateful for the presence of the locket,
and was very much distressed when one
of the tallest men rendered his as an
Offering of regard. The old emperor
didn't stop at lOcket. He offered his
very widely disseminated affections.
and was SO obviously smitten that the
thirty-twO stockholders got together,
and to all outward appearances, plotted
the immediate death of the new conner.
However, when his dusky highness
was made to understand that the lady
was not for sale or exchange, there was
a resumption of peace, and several of
the wives gathered about her, and in
spected the many unnecessary articles
OF clothes she wore. She ''parted her
raiment,'' as the Bible says, among
Fhem. The Mrs. Socrabeya, who got a
small lace handkerchief, tied it around
her smOked-beef ear

and another Mrs. Socrabeya, who re-
